Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Perfect Remains opens with a brutal deception on a remote Highland mountain. A body burns in the open air, reduced almost beyond recognition. It appears to be Elaine Buxton, a successful Edinburgh lawyer. Yet far from the flames, the real Elaine is alive, imprisoned and unheard.

Detective Inspector Luc Callanach arrives in Edinburgh eager to rebuild his career after leaving Interpol. Almost immediately, Elaine’s disappearance is reclassified as murder, thrusting him into a case marked by careful planning and calculated cruelty. The city proves very different from Lyon, and Callanach soon learns that appearances here are rarely reliable.

When another prominent woman vanishes without warning, the pressure intensifies. Each clue suggests urgency, but the truth behind the crimes moves in unexpected directions. Perfect Remains is a tightly plotted crime novel that plays with perception, control and violence, drawing the reader into a disturbing pursuit where nothing is quite what it seems.
